You have been hired to revive, remake and remodel a beloved character from comic past. The writer, however, is incredibly busy and has gone in to The Writing Tomb. The writer can't be contacted and all you hear coming from the Tomb is crying. However the writer, acknowledging that you have to put together some promo material to keep people happy, emerged briefly to hand you the following description of MYSTICO. It reads:

"Restored to life through Dr. Slade's vita-ray, Mystico, a seer of ancient Egypt, has placed his magic powers at the service of humanity." Now, based out of a club, he works with the American and British governments to protect freedom. He receives psychic messages from the old gods, he has magic-based telekinesis (to the degree that he can use skyscrapers as javelins), and he has various other plot-device powers, although creatures from pre-historic times, like the monstrous Amphisaur that sinks various naval ships, are immune to his powers. Mystico fights invisible gangsters and giant gangsters, insane would-be world tyrants and their man-ape sidekicks, Dr. Slade (a skull-face Mad Scientist plotting against America), Dr. Nevins (a long-time student of witchcraft who summons harpies from the distant past in order to conquer the world), and Zarbu, a Turkish sorcerer released from entombment who plans to conquer America. Mystico appears in stories with titles like "The Element of Fear," "Nick Wolve and the Dinosaur Egg," and "Ottmar Lutz's Meteor Magnet."

So there you have it. An ancient Egyptian Seer brought back to life in modern day and working with the government to protect Earth from some incredibly crazy shit.

What's he look like?

GO.

THE RULES:

This is for ART ONLY. Any pen-portraits, or crappy scribbles padded-out with words, will cause a deployment of the newly-trained Urethral Attack Maggot/Arse Eel hybrid. And a banned account.

No stock-photo manipulation. No half-arsed bollocks. Anything deemed to be piss-takery will be nuked from orbit. Original photography is fine.

No more than ONE submission by any one person.

NOTE: I'm going to be a little vague on the deadline because I want to see as many entries here as possible. You have my promise though, that future R/R's will be a lot of fun.

Our Extreme Overlord Si is finding himself incredibly damn busy, what with acquiring more Urethral Attack Maggots, directing an ape who can shoot and other things he can't talk about (Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies) and it seems that I have been given permission to open up a few threads, the Open Mic being one of them.

You can think of me as a bartender, keeping the place clean while the boss is out of town if that helps. Either way, I must say that I'm excited to be allowed to do this.

So yes kids, we can play, though always remembering that Si runs things and can come in to throw Urethral Attack Maggots at any moment. Like RIGHT NOW FOR INSTANCE LOOK BEHIND YOU AUGH-no, just kidding. But he will do that, watch out.

Now, based out of a club, he works with the American and British governments to protect freedom. He receives psychic messages from the old gods, he has magic-based telekinesis (to the degree that he can use skyscrapers as javelins)

So maybe, US Government, hiring the club magician who's maybe a bit depressed about being a club magician, who has voices talking to him, and can toss buildings around...MAYBE not the best guy to put on the payroll. Because WHEN he loses his shit... Just sayin'...
